Fossilist - Official Trailer | Who Owns the Dinosaurs?
Description: Traverse Cinema Studio presents "Fossilist," a groundbreaking documentary that explores the heart of American paleontology. This film digs deep into the lives of the people dedicated to unearthing the prehistoric giants we all know and love. It reveals a startling truth: the future of paleontology hinges on overcoming long-standing conflicts and embracing a shared passion for dinosaurs.
On one side of the conflicted divide are commercial fossil hunters; individuals who have devoted their lives to the gritty, often unglamorous process of unearthing dinosaurs that ignite our collective imagination. On the other, witness the academic researchers who navigate the rigorous world of peer review, grant applications, and the weighty responsibility of preserving dinosaurs for public institutions and the longevity of knowledge.
"Fossilist" reveals a common thread of curiosity and awe that unites these two camps, despite their apparent differences. However, the film doesn’t shy away from controversies that have existed since the 1970s - vicious fossil poaching, litigious battles, or the uproar when a T. rex fetches millions at auction. As stories of the real people in the paleontology industry shine, the unexpected becomes clear. Beneath the drama lies a common thread of curiosity and awe. Childlike wonder and fascination with the prehistoric past that unites these apparent rivals. This shared passion truly drives the world of fossils - and that curiosity and wonder just be the key to bringing about the Golden Age of Paleontology.
Join us on this adventure as we explore the human stories behind the fossils and the universal fascination with the giants that once roamed our planet. "Fossilist" offers a look at the complex issues shaping the future of paleontology, while celebrating the awe-inspiring nature of dinosaur discovery.
